Young stars ejecting plasma could give us clues into the Sun’s past Kyoto, Japan — Down here on Earth we don’t usually notice, but the Sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma into space. These are called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). They often occur together with sudden brightenings called flares, and sometimes extend far enough to disturb Earth’s magnetosphere, generating space weather phenomena including auroras or geomagnetic storms, and even damaging power grids on occasion. Scientists believe that when…
Using a compact but powerful laser, a research team at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has developed a new way to generate synchrotron X-rays. Although the…
Classical and high-temperature superconductors differ hugely in the value of the critical temperatures at which they lose all electrical resistance. Scientists…
For the first time scientists have uncovered concrete evidence for highly energetic neutrinos stemming from outside our solar system.The IceCube experiment, a…
In recent years, computer engineers have no longer been able to increase the clock rate of conventional processors. This means that it is not possible to boost…
Now researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute, among others, have flipped things around and are exploiting the decay to create the so-called entanglement of…
Scientists from the University of the Saarland have managed to carry out a total synthesis of myrtucommulone. Starting from commercially available or known…
A trio of NASA satellites, working in concert with ground-based robotic telescopes, captured never-before-seen details that challenge current theoretical…
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole was the first to discover ultrahigh-energy neutrinos which most likely were the result of cosmic…
A novel divergent nozzle design was developed at the University of Stuttgart which provides for a homogeneous flow profile even at long distances from the…
A novel process was developed at the Karlsruher Institute of Technology (KIT) which allows the joining of two ceramic phases with disparate porosities and pore…
The idea of the new technology: In a MIMO radar system or a sensor network separation of user or transmit signal by not emitting the various sub-carriers of a…
Previous studies, using a variety of telescopes, suggested there was a jet, but these reports — including the orientation of the suspected jets — often…

Medicinal implants have become widely used in modern dentistry. While significant progress has been made to improve the adhesion of such dental implants to the…
Fossils are often stored in plaster casts, or jackets, to protect them from damage. Getting information about a fossil typically requires the removal of the…
